I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?
The method I use is same, but I wrote a script that makes snapshots, streams them locally and then rsync takes over and copies them over to my server at home.

Hourly backups with Borg, nightly syncs to B2. I’ve been playing around with zfs snapshots also, but I don’t rely on them yet
